Patent number: 11829787Abstract: A multi-process model to support compiling applications for multiple platforms is described. In one embodiment, applications designed for execution on a mobile platform can be ported to and/or compiled for execution on a desktop/laptop platform without requiring modification of the core program code of the mobile application. The mobile application is executed using a multi-process (e.g., two or more process) model in which the core mobile application program generates content that is displayed by a host process. The host process enables automatic translation of program calls to generate mobile user interface elements into program calls that generate user interface elements of the host platform. The translation can be performed using a multi-process (e.g., two or more process) model in which the core application program generates content that is displayed by a host process.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ali T. Ozer, Russell A. Bishop, Aaditya Chandrasekhar, Christopher A. Dreessen, Kristin M. Forster, Jeremiah R. Sequoia

Publication number: 20230082764Abstract: The subject technology provides for displaying applications on a display while avoiding the display's irregular or undesirable features. The disclosed techniques include determining whether a triggering condition related to an application executing on an electronic device is present, and if so, determining a user interface (UI) adjustment value. The UI adjustment value is applied to a frame that represents all of the content including a user interface of the application to be rendered on the display. The UI adjustment value represents an adjustment to the frame such that, when the adjusted frame is rendered, the user interface of the application is presented on the display except on a predefined portion (e.g., a portion including an irregular feature or region) of the display. The adjusted frame is then rendered to present the user interface of the application on the display except on the predefined portion of the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Kevin J. VAN VECHTEN, Chad E. JONES, Jesse E. DONALDSON, Kristin M. FORSTER, Mark P. HAMLIN, Ryan N. ARMSTRONG

Patent number: 10884573Abstract: A set of user interfaces for a data processing system that operates with two or more display devices coupled to the system. In one embodiment, in response to moving a first window between two displays, the first window is displayed, as it straddles the two displays, differently on the two displays. For example, while a reference point (e.g. a cursor) on the window remains on a first display, a first portion of the window on the first display is displayed normally while a second portion on the second display is displayed with more translucence (more transparency) than the first portion; when the references point crosses to the second display, the first portion becomes more translucent than the second portion.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2020Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: John O. Louch, Raymond S. Sepulveda, Kristin M. Forster
